It’s sometimes difficult to know how to measure the wind on a boat. The wind movement is unique according to the structure, in particular on boats. The positioning of a wind vane anemometer is not insignificant on a boat. Indeed, the shape of the boat will have an impact on the wind speed. You will have more details in this study for commercial vessels : Wind flow study

This study can be easily transposed to a building.
